Arizona Xeriscape Series Part Three...


Irrigation Efficiency

Efficient water usage is especially important here in the Phoenix AZ area. Xeriscaping at it's very core is all about using drought resistant plants and trees that require very little water. When using an automated irrigation system, it is a good practice to water trees and plants deeply, but less frequent in order to develop the deep roots that enable dry climate plants to thrive.

When watering turf areas, make sure to only water at night and use proper sprinkler heads that produce large droplets closer to the ground. Watering during the heat of the day with a fine mist sprinkler pattern will allow for excessive evaporation and significantly reduce water efficiency. ProQual Landscaping offers the latest in smart watering technology with systems that can automatically detect weather changes and adjust your system accordingly.

Don't forget that when you take measures to reduce water consumption, you are also saving money on water utility expenses :)
